Doug DoersLeadfoot refined the piston design in our diesel aircraft engine. The project has concluded with a successful, marketable product. This was a difficult application, being a two-stroke diesel that highly stresses the piston thermally and mechanically. Leadfoot was the principal developer of the final piston profile, and we have been highly satisfied with their work to date.

Mike WienandtI learn something every time I talk to Steve. Without a doubt in my mind, Steve is the smartest guy I have ever met on piston design and manufacturing. Not just smart, but he can explain it so you can understand the details and can prove what he says because he has done it. He is truly a pleasure to work with.
